Todays question is from Rob, he had emailed me about a year ago because he felt that he was beginning to fall in love with an escort he had been seeing. I advised him see it for what it is … a professional relationship. I told him to keep it more casual and explore time with other escorts. Now , a year later this escort has told Rob that he is in love with him. My how the roles have reversed! Watch my video blog below to hear my latest advice.

Thank you, Marc, for your response to my email. I suppose I knew when I wrote the missive what your response would be, and I also suppose I knew I would agree with your assessment–otherwise I wouldn’t have been questioning myself enough to seek another opinion. You’re quite right: Brian is providing an excellent boyfriend experience for me that is delightful, interesting and meeting an emotional need of mine. The fact that I feel differently about him compared to any other escort is simply evidence that he is very good at what he does. He couldn’t do what he does without having a unique sense of empathy wherein he can read precisely what I am looking for in a relationship and being that person for me. I will do as you say and continue to see him and enjoy him and be an excellent client for him, but I will also have my eyes wide open and not shielded by rose colored glasses. I really appreciate your wisdom, Marc, and I appreciate this forum–who else could I address these kinds of questions and comments to? I also hope that other readers and listeners will not think of me as foolish; many of us, I think, have been swept off our feet by a crush or attraction that will never be the relationship we have created in our minds.

Hey Marc,
I really think he should try to date real people ( not paid escorts ). Like he mention, ” he is growing into his golden years” ( ok, he said old man; however, I want to always be polite). I would think he would want to pass on with the love of his life, like in the note book movie. I believe he is cheating himself out of true love. Let me know if you think differently. I would love to read your response.
Have a great day!
Always a pleasure to hear your blogs.

Marc Dylan to your emotional rescue 101. What great answer may a little long winded but you really drove the point home and spending that amount of time on it made it genuine. Judging from his response Rob heard you and seemed to listen to your advise. The eye roll at the beginning was precious you are usually not that animated. I Enjoy your blog.
